ASIIFIELD OP Lt)N( AtiO Away back in 1858, Thomas McQueen published a report on the County of Hur- on and it is of much interest now to look over his report and note what was said of the different parts. Here for example is what Mr. McQueen had to say of the now wealthy Township of Ashfield: "Ashfield, a kind of triangular figure, lies on the lake shore narth of _ Colborne, and extends to the I3oundary of •the County . of Bruce. It. is the poorest Township hi the County, both in soil and in settle ment. The land is rough and swampy and much broken by glens and gullies. A stream called the Ashfield River runs 'through it and affords considerable mill `Privilege, which to some extent, has been taken advantage of by the erection of small mills. It has several other streams and an abundant water power, but little • 'use for it . In 1881 it contained 260 in- habitants and 228 acies, or less than one :acre apiece were under cultivation In 140 the population had risen to 682 and 1,094 acrss were cultivated, and according to the last census the population was 907 and the cultivated acres 080, or a little • over an acre a piece The product of 1851 was 3,171 bushels of wheat 2,450 -• Bushels of oats, 561 bushels of peas, and potatoes. turnips, and maple sugar in proportion.

And every ounce of every allied nation's strength is in the hands and brains and hearts of the individuals of each nation, because they are free peoples. • Now the individuals of each nation must live as well as fight, therefore a proportion of the effort and material of each nation must be diverted from war purposes to living necessities, So the less each individual takes 'for himself or herself for personal use the more effort will there be left for fighting and winning t war. Every cent you spend represents that much effort be- cause somebody.must do something for you in order to earn that cent—somebody's effort must be given to you instead of to the war. Therefore the less you spend—the less of somebody's effort you take for your individual use --the more will youleave in the national surplus for war effort. The war can be ..won •only by the surplus strength of the allied nations. The money. ;each individual saves represents that surplus strength. , So the truly loyal Canadian will use Less, spend less, and save more, to help to win the war. v Published under the Authority of The Minister of Finance of Canada. When Will The War End? (From Baltimore Sun) The great question as to when the war Will end has at last been solved, this time by an unknown "seer" who has sent a let- ter to Assistant Paymaster J. D. Doyle, of the Great Lakes Naval Training Sta- tion, enclosing a table of figures based on the date of birth, first year of leadership, present age and length of office of eight leaders of the principal allies. The informant is positive the war will end this year. He points out that the to- tal for each leader in 3836, which, divided by 2, gives 1918. Here are the uncanny figures, as pub- lished by the Great Lakes I3ulletin: President Wilson born. . 1856 Was elected 1912 Years ruling 6 Years old 62 Total 3836 .

Martin, writing to the Buffalo Express suggests a universal national anthem and the sentiment of the verses he•suggests is very good. He writes to the editor of The Buffalo Express as follows: Editor Buffalo Express: -As the trend, of thought is having a strong tendency to things universal, such as a universal language, a universal religion and a universal government, it seems quite in order that we should have a universal anthem. As the days of kingdoms and empires are waning and our people are sufficiently enlightened to assert their right to rule, I suggest the following for an anthem: NATIONAL ANTHEM God bless our thinking men! May they never war again, But happy and contented be And ever praise and trust in Thee. Our noble women also bless Who love and cherish and caress; In the home or business place, They've proven our equal in the race. Let our children come to Thee, And accept Thy guaranty, When we all can shout with glee: "This is our Victory's Victory!" O. G. MARTIN. Buffalo, Aug. 19th.

"If I Could Live Life Over" in connection l with the Dominion Chautauqua here, was suddenly stricken with paralysis while ' addressing a large crowd on Thursday night of Last week at Sarnia. Ile was taken to the general hospital and is re- ported as doing well. • The Preach farmers Saved The Day - The saving farmer is a national asset. Canadian progress to -day in all lines at- tests magnificently to the splendid quali- ties of thrift that have marked the farm. ers in all the provinces. The total re- tnrns from field crops and animal pro- duce have been only possible because of the disposition to make use in an econom- ical way of all the wonderful sifts of Providence its this good land of ours, 'rhe same was abundantly true after 1870 in, France when the frugal thrifty farmers of that fair land made it possible for the Republic to pay off that hated German war indemiity of two billion -francs levied against them 'fhe sante spirit of national thrift built up Prance for the extreme test to•d.ty-•a test that s being tried by tire. true. to ne S 0 g. the fanners is flowing, equally as well through the veins of France's daughters of the soil and so the national strength bends but does not break. Canada is reaping her harvests of in- creased returns and money is being made as never before Our farmers are earning j the gratitude of all in their splendid I efforts at production. That they will carry into their savings an equal foresight in conserving their surpluses against the 1 future days of darkness and lower prices will be equally praiseworthy. He is well 1 advised who saves his extra dollar until ' he sees which way the winds of tomorrow t will blow. Adversity blows a chill blast where there is no dollar in the savings.
